Reasonable on 09 February 2010
| rocketpig said: When did "Lord of the Rings" become a movie? Did I miss something? Anyway, the best movie ever IMO is 2001: A Space Odyssey with Apocalypse Now and Citizen Kane right on its tail. My favorite movie? One of Empire Strikes Back, Breakfast at Tiffany's, or Fellowship of the Ring. Dunno, take your pick. |
Great choice. I couldn't narrow it down like that myself, but removing preference, etc. from the equation if I had to pick one film over everything else based on pure neutral criteria it would be 2001. It's one of very few films ever I've seen which I felt was pure cinema, relying almost nothing of traditional narrative techniques and dialogue driven approaches taken by films from books.
Can't fault CK or AN either as good second choices, although for some reason I've always really preferred The Third Man to Citizen Kane - I love the angles and lighting, Lime's famous little line of dialogue, plus that ending.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
